1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis revealed the presence of several hydrolases involved in lipid metabolism including the members of Lip gene family. Rv0646c (LipG) is one of them. It is annotated as putative esterase/lipase because of the presence of consensus sequence 'GXSXG.' The gene was cloned, expressed, and purified in E. coli. It showed 22 U/mg specific activity with pNP-butyrate as a preferred substrate. However, it actively worked on substrates with short chain. The enzyme was optimally active at 50 °C/pH 8.0 and also stable up to 50 °C and in a lower pH range (pH 6-8). The K
